Was flipping through the Process book on my lunch break, and I couldn't help but notice something.
When Kirito addresses other members, he calls them like so:
"Jun", "Kohta" (not sure what he calls Takeo and Aiji...he didn't mention them in his Process interview)
Aiji says:
"Kirito", "Jun-kun", "Kohta", and "Takeo-kun"
Jun says:
"Kirito", "Kohta", "Takeo-kun" (don't know what he calls Aiji, he didn't mention him either ^^;)
Kohta says:
"Jun-kun", "Aiji-kun", "Takeo-kun", "Aniki"/"Onii"
Takeo says:
Everyone's names without a -kun.
Talk about group dynamics, huh? Just by looking at how they address each other, you can really see who's closer to who in the band. Of course, it can be an age thing too. I mean, Kohta's the youngest so he probably has to be a bit more respectful and Takeo, I think, is the oldest (or close to Kirito's age) so that's probably why he doesn't bother with adding -kun to the back of everyone's names.
Oh, another thing. I managed to clear up a rumour that was on my facts page. You know that rumour where Kirito supposedly wanted to leave Pierrot and start a brand new band with Aiji (but then Jun convinced him out of it)? I think the rumour probably started because it was misread somewhere. ^^; In Process, Aiji says that when Kirito was first talking to him, Kirito said that he had gotten annoyed with the other members and wanted Aiji in his new band as guitar. I think the person probably intepretated "other members" to mean "Jun, Kohta, and Takeo". However, I read it as Kirito meaning "other members" as in "Hidelow" and "Luka", and that he didn't want to START a new band with Aiji but wanted Aiji to be guitar IN his new band. ^^;
The reason I think the quote should be interpretated this way instead is because later on, Jun, Kohta, Takeo, Kirito, and even Aiji later on in their own interviews, make no mention that they ever had any problems or considered parting ways. They talk about how they had meetings together (ie. to decide to make Kirito vocalist and other pre-Aiji stuff like that), but there's no indication that they ever planned to break up or that they were annoyed with each other.
Granted, I'm skimming the interviews quickly so it might be there and I might just have missed it *sheepish grin*, but ne, that's what I think. ^^
